I shower the morning of at least and have deodorant and such. Think of the people around you who will be working out around you. Some dudes are so nasty, lifting their weights and it smells like they haven't showered in days. Simple hygiene.


You think people at the gym want their space violated by horrible smells? No. People thinking like you that make working out harder than it needs to be for everyone. Get your **** together.

You don't take a shower to go to the gym.

You take a shower because you're going to the gym and are about to workout.

Your skin is filled with pores that gather dirt and toxins. In order to get both of them out of your system, you need to sweat. But if you open your pores with warm water prior to a sweaty workout, you'll be clean and won't sweat dirt over yourself and the apparatus.

You sweat to cool yourself down and shed water, which makes you heavier, thus you lose calories. You'll lose over a litre of water from your body, in your hair, all over yourself as your pores are open and hot.

You're choosing to not clean yourself beforehand are therefore filthy, similar to people who don't shower twice a day and have dead skin, hair, sweat, bacteria and semen all over their bed sheets.

It's just nasty and I'm not even a clean freak. Surely it's just common sense
